This song is beautiful. I think it means that someone is in complete pain. Agony and no one is there she hurts herself and she blames herself for it someone take me in someone love me maybe it involves rape or not. But when I listen to it I remember when I was molested I remember and I use to cut myself to this song now don't pull the whole emo s*t on me because I did it for 5 years and I actually did it for reasons it was my way to cope to survive to get through and it has been so hard to give it up but every time I listen to this song I get lost.

I think that the meaning of this song is someone who so desperately wants someone to see them. Too see past all of the pretences of everyday life and to see the torturous pain that they are in inside. Someone just to take a second out of there life to look beyond themselves and see the pain of others so they can feel like they matter and feel like they are not invisible.

I think that this song means that something's going on in her life and she copes by abusing herself, "help i've done it again" cut, does drugs, drings alcohal, she's done it before and she's there again "i've been here many times before". "hurt myself again today" whatever she's going through she either abused herself again for somethings she's donw wrong "and the worst part is, i'm the one to blame" she's done something that she regrets, so she copes by hurting herself "ouch i've lost myself again" she hurt herself and she doesn't know what to do, she think that she might "break", die. She has noone to help or hold her and tell her it's okay "be my friend, hold me, wrap me up" she just needs someone.

I think that this song is about a deep feeling of self loathing and depression that keeps recurring. She feels incredibly hopeless about her situation, and feels that she has no real friends. This song is referring to future friends, her way to kind of warn them what she can be like to deal with. Sia really feels vulnerable, and like she can't do it on her own anymore. She can't help herself, and keeps falling back into old habits, maybe even self harm. She is reaching out for someone to look after her, and help her and nurture her just like she's been needing for a long time. She wants someone to stick with her, get to know who she is and everything she stands for, but she's always seemed to lack this in her life. Instability is not uncommon for her, and so she loses her mind. She doesn't know how much further she can go with the mind she has. This is my perception.

This song parallels my situation with cutting. She is in desperate need of someone to save her from herself. She is the murderer and the victim. Her own worst enemy and she wants out of the dark corner she has worked herself into. Reaching out with unloved arms and pain in her voice. Unsure, of how to escape. Begging for a chance to simply breathe again. To live, without anxiety and regain feeling. Others have hurt her, but this time her own personal addiction has trapped her. No one else to pin it on. To be caught, when you are eternally falling and held. She doesn't want to repeat these errors over and over again. She's choking from the tears and past wrongs. Just wants. Life breathed back into this numb corpse. She wants to feel alive, not just know that she is living from the proof of blood dripping to the floor. Because that isn't living. It's just barely surviving. Breathe me. ~Emily <3.
